Dinner at Cheers Restaurant, Mong Kok 21 Nov 2010

All our mornings, afternoons, evenings and nights are fully packed!!! After the campus tour in the morning we had lunch at UHU, then discussion with Denise Richardson before we called it a day at college. In the evening Angie went shoe shopping and I went to Temple Street but it was still too early, stalls were just in the process of opening. At night we had a dinner date with Rose, Angie's friend at Cheers Restaurant, just round the corner of our hotel.


Cheers or Tao Heung is well known for its wedding banquets.

There is a reception downstairs, I always walk past it but I did not know there was great activity upstairs.


The many cosy and private places at the hotel lobby where we waited for Rose who stays at Hong Kong Island


We chatted here for a while, and I dropped my glasses and thumbdrive here, but the next day the housekeeping returned them to me in a plastic bag.....efficient service!


Rose came and she was dressed elegantly for dinner but Angie was in her Tzer Zee (meditation T shirt) and her ubiquitous backpack.


Rose is a Malaysian married to a Hong Konger, resides here and is the mother of actress Isabella Chan and Sheila who is a travel writer. Her daughter Sheila came but did not join us for dinner as she had a buffet dinner date with her Polish husband. She will join us for Dim Sum on Wednesday.


We started out dinner with double boiled chicken and shark fin (chi kuan) soup.

Hong Kong restaurants always serve the ingredients boiled in soup in a plate like this.


Rose studied in Hong Kong university and is a published Chinese author and poet (retired now)
. Her apartment in HK Island costs about 7 million in Malaysian ringgit!

In Malaysia you can buy a castle...I am serious: look here:
Camelot came close to going under the hammer on Thursday at the Kuala Lumpur High Court at a reserve price of RM6mil.

She is an advocate of healthy eating so she chose this tofu dish.

To round off the meal we had water cress, fish maw and abalone mushrooms. She says the collagen in the fish maw (the swim balancer of the fish) is good for our aging skin.



稻 香 集 團
The Chinese wedding banquet culture embodies the profound meaning of happiness and blessings. Nowadays, the Western dining culture prevails in Hong Kong and the tradition, Tao Heung establishes the new brand, Cheers Restaurant, the first Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong with the theme of wedding banquet. This special tradition, together with its fashionable image, helps to prolong the Chinese wedding banquet culture.
